    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: Papillary renal cell carcinoma is a malignant neoplasia which represents 5-10% of all renal cell carcinomas. We perform a bibliographic review, and detail the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the case, as well as its postoperative outcome. METHODS: 55-year-old patient who was admitted in the urology department from the emergency room. On physical examination we detected a mass in the left flank and left upper abdominal quadrant, painful on flank percussion, and gross hematuria also. It was a patient who debuted with left lumbar-abdominal pain and hematuria with clots after a physical effort. Blood tests, ultrasound, x-rays and surgical treatment were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: On evaluation of the ultrasound and x-ray films it was concluded that it was a significant renal tumor. Left radical nephrectomy was performed and pathology reported papillary renal cell carcinoma. Postoperative outcome was satisfactory after three months.
